Australian Wild Prawns: The Banana Prawn
Course overview
The Banana Prawn, harvested in the warm, nutrient-rich waters of northern Australia, represents a significant portion of the country's commercial catch.
Known for its sweet flavour reminiscent of vanilla pod and green melon, this light-coloured prawn, primarily caught by trawl during the day, is best utilised for cutlets and meat due to its thin shell that becomes challenging to remove when cooked.

Differentiate the physical attributes of Banana Prawns.
Describe the flavour profile of Banana Prawns.
